Pfft... people don't grow up until they leave university (it's college there right. I get confused, since our college is year 11 and 12)

Yeah, as long as you're in school you'll get that, some people like to be friends with everyone, and you can't change that. So they can get upset if you leave them. Not saying what you did is wrong, just brainstorming as to what it is.

Well, if you're happier with just your one friend, do that. I'm a group person, and it's basically impossible for me to have a conversation with just one person. Don't let them bother you if you prefer it this way, just tell them you're still friends but you don't like the same things they do. They might not understand, but it'll make them feel better if they know you still consider them friends.

I'm a sophomore in college, and I know exactly where you're coming from. Heck, I was at work tonight, and I overheard that there was a meeting about seating arrangements because some people didn't want their desk to be next to another employee. I mean, really. Does that person seriously bother you enough where you want to have your desk moved? Honestly. Grow up.

Anyway, I agree with RENTal lot in letting the girl know that you don't enjoy the same things as they do, but still want to be friends. It may stop the whining. Good luck!

"High school never ends! Oh-oh! Whoa-oh oh-oh..."'

Erm-hem... I don't think some people ever grow up. They live off of drama, so they're gonna find anything to be dramatic about. It doesn't matter if they're fourteen or twenty or fifty-three.

Or maybe she's not a drama queen and is genuinely concerned that she may be losing a good friend...and is just not getting that point across very well.

Either way, you should probably sit her down and explain that you're not trying to leave her and the others out (even if you are, lie anyway :p), and tell her that you and your like-minded friend are spending more time together cuz you've got a lot in common. And if it's been a while since you and your big ol' group o' friends have hung out, get 'em all together at the cafeteria for lunch or dinner just to show them you're not desserting them. I'm like you and dislike large crowds, but every so often I suck it up and hang out with my not-as-close friends because they are still my friends and I know they worry if they haven't seen me in a while.

That's annoying. I guess you should just tell them to suck it up. (happy) Joke. Truly you should not try to be friends with immature people if they aren't good friends to you already or good friend material. It's really not worth it. If they aren't good friends, just sit them down and talk to them and tell them you're not excluding, you're just hanging out with people who influence you and are your friends. (smile) My two cents here.

I would just invite her to do it with you once. She'll probably get bored and realize she's better off being "excluded" from it. (happy)

Oh lord, college was more drama for me thah high school. It really is true that some people just don't grow up but I think sometimes that's in all of us. I know I can be mighty immature about some things.

If it is worth the friendship, which remembering my own experiences and reading your initial post I'm leaning toards no, certainly have the talk with them but certainly don't back down about actually doing things you and your actual friend are interested in. If they're real friends they might actually want to try it out or will accept that sometimes buddies don't have to keep buddying around all the live-long day.

If not, ditch for good and chalk it up to a lesson for both sides.

I don't recommend what my friend and I ended up doing. The resident assistant talks alone were bad enough but it's hard to still be roommates with people after letting things escalate to punches. ;)

It's natural for people to want to feel "included," especially if they feel it is something secret, or something they feel would be secret (for example, you and your friend going off and doing your own thing without telling them). I definitely agree with what RomanHK said. Include them, tell them all about it; chances are, they won't be interested, or will get bored, and eventually back off.

o_o I dread the day I go to college. Seeing as how I doubt anyone will have the same interests as I do. -shrug- Yeah, just invite them to do it. They most likely will get bored [as stated before] and back off [also stated before]. That's your best tactic and would probably be your most successful.

I wish you luck.

Unless you go to some super tiny college, someone will share your interests. You'd be surprised at all the completely random stuff that goes on around campus. For example, I could go down to the lobby right now and find several people willing to play Soul Caliber 3 on DDR pads, a string quartet practices in the coffee shop, upstairs people are practicing Japanese conversation, and there's some sort of lecture about military intelligence going on. All in one dormitory.

Anywho, back on topic. Glad to hear your friend is getting better, EmmiJade! Hopefully she won't be complaining as much anymore.

It ultimately depends on where you're going. As Shadow said, larger universities yield more people into the same thing that you are. I thought that I wouldn't see many anime fans and gamergirls when I went to college while I was still in HS, but my roommate is an anime fan and gamergirl.

I personally would be flattered that someone is crying and bxtching about me not including them. I like it when people want to be my friend.
